  • 2 ateliers au choix parmi les 4 suivants :

  • Créer et gérer son réseau professionnel (16h) (B. Philippart de Foy)

Learning outcomes of the learning unit

The Skills Workshops aim at four main objectives :
* to develop student's relational and managerial skills; * to develop student's creativity and entrepreneurial spirit; * to develop student's ethical and critical mind; * to develop student's professional project
These are coherent with the school's key learning outcomes :
Relational skills contribute to student's general communication (KLO 4) and their ability to work in an interational and multicultural team (component of KLO 2). Managerial skills help students in KLO 1 to 3 (strategy, implementation, quality and performance control).
Creativity and entrepreneurial spirit are an essential component of KLO 5: Adaptability.
Ethics and a critical mind are an essential component of KLO 2 : Implementation.
Each workshop focuses on one specific skill which contributes to the four aims mentioned above. More specific learning outcomes are defined in each module.
Generally speaking, a workshop will give each student several occasions to practice the aimed skill, to get extensive and personal feedback on strengths and weaknesses, as well as strategies to improve performance. The necessary tools to go on learning about these skills after the module will also be acquired.

Prerequisite knowledge and skills

Normally, workshops do not have any prerequisites, every student of the program may register for them. If an exception should be implemented, it would be signalled during the specific enrollment in each workshop.

Planned learning activities and teaching methods

Skills Workshops are based on a « learning by doing » method. They involve students into complex situations where they will have several occasions to practice their skills, to identify their weaknesses and to improve through practical experience. These interactive workshops are designed for small numbers of students, which allows to give them personal feedback and coaching. They also emphasize contact with the professional world and multidisciplinary perspective.

Mode of delivery (face to face, distance learning, hybrid learning)

Face-to-face course


Additional information:

Each worksop counts 4 face-to-face work sessions of 4 hours and some homework linked with the workshop's theme. The expected work strongly depends on the workshop's subject but they are typically interactive seminars with a strong accent on personnal implication.

To validate the 4 ECTS of the Skills Workshops, each student must take part in two different workshops.
